Common workers' comp problems
When workers' comp
starts going wrong.
You do not have to wait for your entire claim to fall apart before asking questions. Problems often start small—and become difficult quickly.
Delayed medical care
Waiting for authorizations for therapy, testing, specialists, or surgery.
Stopped or missing checks
Wage checks are late, reduced, or stopped even though your injury affects work.
Return-to-work pressure
You are still hurting, but are being told to return before you feel ready.
Denied claims
The insurance company denies the claim or disputes whether your condition is work-related.
MMI too soon
You are placed at maximum medical improvement while still experiencing significant symptoms.
No one is answering
Calls go unanswered, appointments stall, and you are left without clear answers.

Questions we hear
Good questions.
Clear answers.
A few practical answers for injured workers in Pompano Beach. Every case is different, so the next step depends on the details of your claim.
My authorized doctor recommended surgery, but the insurance company still has not approved it. What can I do?
If your authorized doctor recommends surgery or other treatment, the carrier may need to authorize it. Keep track of when the request was made and any responses you receive. We can review the delay and determine what steps may be available to obtain the treatment.
My workers’ comp checks stopped even though I am still out of work. Why?
Checks can change because of medical restrictions, wages, a return-to-work decision, or maximum medical improvement. That does not necessarily mean stopping them was correct. We can review your work status, payment history, and the carrier’s explanation to see whether benefits are owed.
I do not feel that my workers’ comp doctor is listening. Can I change doctors?
Florida law generally allows one change of authorized physician for an accident when properly requested in writing. There are important rules and deadlines for how the insurer must respond. Before arranging treatment on your own, ask about the right way to request a change.
My employer wants me back at work, but my doctor gave me light-duty restrictions. What happens?
Your written medical restrictions matter. Whether suitable work is available and whether you may qualify for wage benefits depends on your circumstances, including any work offer and your earnings. We can review those details before you make a decision that could affect your claim.
My doctor says I reached maximum medical improvement (MMI), but I am still in pain. Is my case over?
Not necessarily. MMI does not always mean medical treatment ends, although it can affect wage benefits and other rights. If the medical opinion does not match your condition or restrictions, it may be important to review the available medical evidence and your options.
The insurer denied my claim because it says my condition existed before the accident. Can I challenge that?
A preexisting condition does not automatically resolve whether a workplace accident is compensable. The medical evidence and Florida’s causation rules are important. We can look at the denial, accident history, and medical records to evaluate a challenge.
Can I settle my Florida workers’ comp case, and will I lose future medical care?
Settlement may be an option in your workers’ comp case, but it typically means closing your claim and giving up future medical benefits in exchange for a lump-sum payment. It’s important to understand the long-term consequences before making a decision.
